As
a diver addict you will
like to have
your own scuba gear but all the necessary diving
equipment can cost you
around
US
$1000 or more.
We recommend that you start slow, so let's just see what you must have:
Mask/Snorkel, Diving Fins and a Wet Suit for warm water (Dry Suits are
expensive, we
recommend to rent at the beginning). These gear are basic, you
can bring
them on your vacation, and you can also use some just for
Snorkeling.
A dive computer
is very important; they
measure the time and depth of dives to calculate a safe ascent. Making
your dives more simple and safe. Never rely on your
partner's computer to calculate your decompression, use your
own or use diving
planners.
Next step
will be a
descent underwater
camera
for your diving memories; if you have already a digital camera there is
a big chance that there is a case for it, so
start your research and choose the one you like.
The are some
diving
companies that have a
different price on diving excursions depending if you have your on
diving equipment (BCD, Regulator , Mask,
etc.), so
as a final step
start buying your
BCD,
Regulator and other accessories
including a diving bag
to travel with all your gear.
